A public consultation has started on a major planned development in a Lincoln village, which would see 200 homes constructed as well as numerous infrastructure changes.

Applicants Beal Developments Ltd have submitted plans to construct 200 new homes in the village of Nettleham, to the north-east of Lincoln in the first segment of the development.

In the second part of the so-called hybrid development, the applicants have also applied for a change of use for the land north of Larch Avenue and south of Nettleham Beck, which is currently used for agriculture.

In addition to the new housing, which would comprise approximately 9.1 hectares of the 14.33 hectares site, the rest of the land would be public open space, with a woodland, Beckside walk and sports facility potentially provided.

At this stage, all matters of appearance, means of access, landscaping, layout and scale are reserved for subsequent approval.

However, associated roads and access to be considered are not reserved for subsequent applications.

A small flood risk also exists in the area alongside the beck.
